Draw.Rectangle Area && Opacity

[SodyTexas]

Hey NT,

I believe I found a bug for y'all.

On Draw.Rectangle it allows you to set the color for the area and opacity level, however it only draws the line and not the area at all. See code and picture.

Draw.Rectangle(this,"Line"+CurrentBar.ToString()+i,true,0,(MAX(High,Period)[0]) - ((i)*TickSize*BoxSize),1,(MAX(High,Period)[0]) - ((i+1)*TickSize*BoxSize),Brushes.Gray,Brushes.DimGray,5);

This code should be drawing the area of the rectangle, but only draws the outline.

Cheers,

Sody

Draw Square

Also, a suggestion!

Draw.Square is awesome for Point and Figure, but there is no opacity parameter.. I would suggest adding one, us power users might really like it.

This may work,

Create a separate Brush:
Brush brushBid=new SolidColorBrush(System.Windows.Media.Colors.Red);
brushBid.Opacity=0.3;

This works for me with some of the SharpDX stuff, don't see why the Brush wouldn't work for the lines as well.

Getting closer maybe...

Failed to call OnRender() for chart object 'Square': The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it'

Brush brushBid=new SolidColorBrush(System.Windows.Media.Colors.DimGray);
			brushBid.Opacity=0.3;

Draw.Square(this,"tag"+CurrentBar.ToString()+i,true,0,(MAX(High,Period)[0]) - ((i)*TickSize*BoxSize),brushBid);

Might need a new thread? Dispatch.BeginInvoke?

I am not sure you can access the Draw functions in the OnRender... You will likely need to use the SharpDX functions.

Here is a FillRectangle example:
RenderTarget.FillRectangle(new RectangleF(chartControl.CanvasRight, chartScale.GetYByValue(key.Key) - (height / 2), (int)-(key.Value * barLengthScale), height), brushAsk.ToDxBrush(RenderTarget));

Thanks, SharpDX functions worked..

I'd recommend using SharpDX stuff directly rather than the draw methods for such tasks. For power users such as yourself, you can always create your own draw object, and in fact, implement your own signatures to be called from other indicators, etc...
